Book Review: “Fleishman Is in Trouble” by Taffy Brodesser-Akner

Please note: I first published this book review on the “Goodreads”-website in 2020.

My rating: 2 (of 5) “stars”

I read a copy of this book which originally belonged to a friend who passed it on to me. I didn’t keep it, but put it into a public bookcase after I finished reading it.

Unhappily divorced with children, and whining about it. That just about sums up the story of this book. Nothing big happens – nothing much happens at all, actually. I was bored for 300+ pages; then, in Part III of the book, the writer tells the ex-wife’s point of view of the breakdown of Toby’s and Rachel’s marriage, and all of a sudden I’m reading a different book. The first two parts of this book focus on Toby’s story, and he’s just not a very interesting character. My advice: read the third part of the book first, then start at the beginning.
